Dominique Gunn

 

Thanks to Suzie from DeKalb for nominating Dominique. She said: 

Dominique is the women’s shelter coordinator at Hope Haven – DeKalb County’s only homeless shelter. She was previously a case manager. In both positions, Dominique uses her passion and kindness to empower her clients to make positive changes and find stability. She is my other half of the Unofficial Activity Coordinators, bringing lighthearted fun to our clients year-round. Known to the kids as Miss Nicky, Dominique is a caring and consistent adult who brings a sense of normalcy to our youngest clients. She makes a difference each day in her clients’ and colleagues’ lives – I can’t think of someone more deserving of this recognition.
